A cruel Pennsylvania couple kept their three young sons locked in an empty coal cellar called “the hole” for days at a time, police said.
Richard Hayes, 37, of Mount Oliver, and Natosha Bell, 26, of Rankin, were arrested Wednesday at McClure Elementary School in White Oak, where Hayes’ 11-year-old son refused to get into his car at dismissal time, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The frightened boy said he didn’t want to be handcuffed again as he clung to a school employee, a witness told police.
Hayes opened the minivan’s door and a school employee spotted the couple’s two other children, ages 7 and 10, both in handcuffs, according to the complaint.
White Oak police detained the couple and said Hayes also had a loaded handgun with him. Allegheny County police took the three boys into emergency custody and they later told authorities at a hospital of the brutal treatment they endured, according to the complaint.

Police said “the hole” was actually an empty coal cellar that had no lights or water and a concrete floor.
Another room in the basement was also referred to as “the cell,” the boys told police while describing the bucket they were forced to use as a toilet. The 7-year-old boy said he was locked away in the room without mattresses or pillows for taking food when he was hungry, the complaint states.
The 7-year-old also said Hayes forced his head underwater in a bathtub, which he admitted to investigators, according to the complaint. Hayes also reportedly told cops he made the three boys sleep on a basement floor and that he had handcuffed them

Trash comes in all colors.
Just protecting them from Covid. /S
If mommy was the 11 year old’s mommy, then he was born when she was 15, almost certainly conceived at 14. And daddy was 26.
funny how certain descriptions of crime conjure up a certain “look”...because like you, I would have guessed white trash....
Yeah, I totally guessed wrong.
Maybe they were just trying to teach them how it was to be slaves.
That may indeed be, but it’s more than just “abuse” IN Guessing.
If it’s broken down, I’m betting “secret torture” is higher for whites than blacks. Blacks are good at overt, open and instantaneous abuse. They generally act on impulse regardless of who is a witness. And the witnesses are used to that abuse so they don’t care.
I can’t stand that retard.
And that’s not messed up at all.
O.o
Well he did drive up to the school out in the open with 2 kids in handcuffs.
That was pretty brazen. I don’t think he meant to be seen, but cuffs is usually meant only for private!
I still hold to my prejudices. Whites do slower and secretive torture. Blacks don’t care about brazen screaming and hitting as soon as they are offended. That includes smacking the kids around. After all, this is done in comedy skits all the time.
